Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out at the Research Farm Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Science, Prayagraj during the year 2020-2021 to find out the Effect of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of onion (Allium cepa L.) cv Nasik Red. The field experiment was set up in RBD with 13 treatments and 3 replications. T₃ 75% of RDF + 25% Vermicompost was found best in respect of growth, yield and quality parameter of onion (Allium cepa L.) cv Nasik Red. The results of the investigation are found significantly increased with the higher plant height (78.44cm), number of leaves per plant (10.63), fresh weight of bulb (94.50g), Dry weight of bulb (86.36g), Days to first bulb harvesting (51.29 Days), diameter of bulb (9.63cm), neck thickness (1.35cm), bulb yield per plot (5.00), bulb yield (500.85t ha^-1), ascorbic acid (mg/100 g fresh wt) (13.34) and total soluble solid (⁰brix) (14.53) of onion (Allium cepa L.) cv Nasik Red.
